Time 50m

Yield Makes 12 to 14 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 5

½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), frozen
2 ½ cups self-rising flour
1 cup chilled buttermilk
Parchment paper
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475°F. Grate frozen butter using large holes of a box grater. Toss together grated butter and flour in a medium bowl. Chill 10 minutes.
  • Make a well in center of mixture. Add buttermilk, and stir 15 times. Dough will be sticky.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Lightly sprinkle flour over top of dough. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough into a ¾-inch-thick rectangle (about 9 x 5 inches). Fold dough in half so short ends meet. Repeat rolling and folding process 4 more times.
  • Roll dough to ½-inch thickness. Cut with a 2 ½-inch floured round cutter, reshaping scraps and flouring as needed.
  • Place dough rounds on a parchment paper-lined jelly-roll pan. Bake at 475°F for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Brush with melted butter.

THE BEST FLAKY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS



The Best Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits image

We tried several versions of this recipe, including one with double the amount of baking powder. And while the biscuits turned out puffy and beautiful, they ultimately were too dry. So, we tweaked the baking powder amount along with the butter and buttermilk and arrived at these beauties -flaky, golden, tender and moist, just as biscuits should be.

Time 35m

Yield 12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon fine salt
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup buttermilk, plus more for brushing

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Rub 2 tablespoons of the cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until completely absorbed. Work the remaining 8 tablespoons of cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until pea-size bits of butter remain. Use a rubber spatula to stir the buttermilk into the flour until the mixture comes together into a shaggy dough. (Don't overmix the dough.)
  • Lightly flour a cutting board or work surface, turn the dough out onto it and pat into a rectangle. Fold the dough in half and pat again into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Then fold the dough in thirds, as if folding a letter, and pat to an even thickness. Cut out biscuits with a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter and put on the prepared baking sheet. Press together the remaining scraps of dough. Pat out and fold the dough into thirds again and cut out more biscuits. Brush the biscuit tops with buttermilk.
  • Bake until the tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool on the pan at least 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter creates steam when it melts in the oven, which helps the biscuits rise and become flaky.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk adds flavor and tenderness to the biscuits.
  • Let the biscuits rest: Letting the biscuits rest before baking allows the gluten to relax, which makes them lighter and flakier.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the biscuits rise quickly and evenly.

Conclusion:

Sadie's Buttermilk Biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make Southern classic. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create light, flaky biscuits that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these biscuits are sure to be a hit.
